One of the Big problems with Warrantee repairs is that the Manufacturer
does not pay the real costs of the repair.

These firms like say Sony have a fixed price list to cover the costs of
the Fault, but these costs are cut to the bone.

"Unprofitable work" can be better than no work at all if you already have
the tech sitting there on the payroll.

Also, as 'whoisthis' alluded to, there are other benefits from having a
'special' relationship with a supply company than the money received from
warranty repairs. (Although, that said not many folks pay for
out-of-warranty repairs these days as, sadly, they're often more costly than
using it as landfill and buying a new item.)

I gather that NEXT was charging some $120 and $80 for a Quote, they
also Fixed Sony Digital cameras, but as the NBR article stated that
could have lost the Sony contract.

You are Roger Sheppard and have been demonstrably shown to be wrong over the
last ten years and all 200 aliases.
I have a list of over 125 previous aliases you have used.
I wouldn't let you restock a Coke machine let alone service anything more
difficult than an electric jug.
You are very tedious and always wrong.
No wonder you are high and dry on the scrapheap at your age.

Religion or their beliefs, wow in 2004 and yet you have hidden under

of shit you are, and glad you had left their fold, oooops did someone
drop them a note loll you may never know, unless you rejoin I guess

As long as the low paying customer can be always at the end of the queue
then there's no problem at all. It's outfits that trip over themselves for
low charge-out service work to fill the gaps, then build their businesses on
it. It happens.
